Festive frolics are on the way as organisers start the countdown to this year’s Santa Dash and Reindeer Run.

The popular St Catherine’s Hospice fundraiser, which will be held in Filey on Sunday December 8, promises to be a fun and colourful event.

The Dash will take place around Filey sea front, starting at Country Park and finishing at Royal Parade café, a distance of approximately 1.5 miles.

Following refreshments at the Royal Parade Café, a free “Christmas Special” bus service will transport all participants back to the start.

Event organiser Louise Gravestock explains: “It’s not a race, just a bit of fun and anyone can take part, regardless of age and ability.

“It’s the perfect way for families and friends to get together and enjoy some festive fun. People can complete the Dash in their own time and at a pace that is comfortable for them.

“It’s all about taking part, entering into the Christmas spirit and having fun, whilst raising vital funds for patient care at Saint Catherine’s.”

She added: “Whether you are a Sauntering Santa or a Running Reindeer, come along and join in this fun run with a difference!”

Entrants must pre-register at just £10 for a Santa Suit (will fit aged 12 years upwards) or £5 for reindeer antlers and a flashing nose, to wear on the day of the Dash.
